Edition 2021

The European Social Services Awards in 2021 were held under the theme Building Resilience in Social Services, recognising the transformation of the delivery of social services in their response to Covid-19, and how they ensured continuity and quality of care for vulnerable populations and those in need of support across Europe.

The 2021 Awards honoured the effort of social services in developing practice and programmes responding to immediate needs but also how they looked ahead towards building resilient services and communities that are better prepared for future crises.
